Why must we see this as a curse but not as an opportunity. F-16 are like a noose around pakistans neck for decades now. US has leveraged it to achieve their goal and make us look stupid infront of entire world. Just bcz PAF had some imaginary plans that 100 or so F16 will give them a psychological boost doesn't mean it was bound to be true as plan are made to be changed according to the presented scenerio. Pakistanis are like those characters of sesame street who think living in a good quality dustbin or gutter is sign of them being royalty. Seriously one can only cry over this kind of mind set.
On the other hand US was bound to become our enemy in not so long term future bcz of our nukes and our economic association with Chinese. Only an idiot thinks that he can enjoy luxury ride on two VIP boats at the same time and such is situation of us Pakistanis. Such a sorry state of affair to be honest.
Again, you are going by emotions....Do you think your generals are still crazy that they are expecting the F-16 to be part of PAF?...No of course..No...Your Army and Generals are very well aware, that they need US weapons which is the best choice at this point of time...And you have to understand that US is no ones friend not any ones enemy....They even deal with Japan and Australia like close friends on a transactional basis...So why do you think they will be emotionally hooked up with Pakistan if Pakistan does not add any value to them??....We the Asian people always feel emotional in the foreign policy which is not the case with Western nations...
Now, if tomorrow, you can add value to US, it is just business as usual for US to lay you a red carpet for your generals...
